We’ve all acknowledged many times how important the move into the pitches in Parc50 has been for the club. It has made training as accessible as possible for our players which is important when you consider most rely on public transport to get to training.
However, the pitch does not have lights so for the winter months we train in the British School (!) on one of their astro pitches. Aside from the lights, there is one other big advantage of making the trek out to Tervuren; dressing rooms.
A big part of the enjoyment I’ve always gotten from training is the banter and craic you have before and after training. I’d always be one of the first to arrive and last to leave because of this. It gives you a chance to catch up with lads and share a joke or two.
It may seem insignificant time spent but I think makes a good contribution to team spirit. The banter can only be a good thing and everyone can get in on it and it’s an opportunity for fellas to get to know each other a bit better.
It’s all about compromise here though and we know we can’t have our cake and eat. When we move back into Parc 50 in April we’ll lose the luxuries of the BSB but gain the accessibility of the Parc and the adulation and admiration of the army of runners and passers by who stop to see us playing hurling and football!!
